While there's nothing particularly wrong with this book, there's nothing groundbreaking, either. The pictures are taken from other books in the series, and while the riddles are new, they aren't any more difficult or involved than usual. Think of this as "ultimate" in the sense of "last in a series" (until the next one comes out), not "highest in degree or order, utmost or extreme" (definitions via WordNet).In addition to this book, I also have the Spooky Night, Christmas, and Mystery I Spy books. Of the 12 pictures in this collection five come from those books (two each from Spooky Night and Christmas, one from Mystery). Also with only 12 pictures, "Ultimate Challenger" has one fewer picture than the Christmas and Mystery books. And because the pictures come from a variety of sources, there isn't even a "find the common element" usually present at the end of an I Spy book.To be sure the pictures are creatively staged and the riddles occasionally make good use of word play (trunk: is that elephant, tree or luggage?), and there are the usual bonus riddles at the end of the book. Make sure you have a very good light source over your shoulder or head because the finish on the pages and lighting of some of the pictures can make the objects even harder to find.If you're new to I Spy or don't have any of the books recycled here (check the Search Table of Contents for a list of the pictures, the Back Cover has, I believe, a list of the books involved), the "Ultimate Challenger" isn't bad - and it's more disappointing than terrible if you do have some of the books already. Just don't expect anything too incredible (either in terms of quality or quantity), or you'll be let down.
This is a true challenge game. Perfect for those kids who need a little more challenge than the average child. They love it. Good to take anywhere there is a wait time as it keeps them quiet and entertained for quite awhile
Great book. It is a little challenging EVEN for me. My seven year old LOVES IT!! She has been doing hidden object books ever since she had severe brain damage. It was part of her therapy. She has come a longway since then . They have become too easy for her. As she still needs the challenge to keep her brain activity to par. THIS ONE ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!
I like this I Spy book best of all. Not only does it have some of the best scenes from some of the previous I Spy books, but it also has some cool new riddles. Various scenes include "Rainbow Express" From I Spy Fantasy, "A is for..." From I Spy School Days, and "Baking Cookies" From I Spy Christmas. I read this whenever I feel like I need to pass the time because it is so much fun looking for things.Overall, 5 Stars. If you can find this book, buy it. It is top-notch fun!
The I Spy books are great fun for the whole family. I love these books because they are fun alone but even better with a friend! My kids have time challenges and have come up with so many creative and interactive ways to use the I Spy books- definitely a family favorite!!
The book is both challenging and interesting to all ages. I also like the size of the book and that it's a hard cover.
Great solution to occupying an 8 yo when they complain of being bored and having nothing to do. He enjoys the challenge series.
Wow, this book challenges your mind! I've had sooo much fun with this book, I'm anxious to buy more. I thought, "how easy this is going to be to find 6 or 8 things," but it's not. People of all ages will enjoy this book. Leave it on your coffee table and your friends will pick it up and get hooked on it.
